The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 87 Tian Tian’s whereabouts

Tian Tian was currently training the soldiers under his command, looking at the military history of his team, and occasionally he would have some delicate thoughts.

Could these military histories be used by Liu Tai to control his army?
They obviously didn't use any force, nor did they use any coercion or inducement. They just took notes calmly with a simple pen, but they gave people a sense of solemnity and inviolability.

They trained with others when they were busy, and shared the history of the Han Dynasty with their comrades in their spare time. With such a simple operation, the mental outlook of the beggars under his command who originally came out with him gradually changed a bit.

They no longer fought purely for survival like they did before, nor did they fight for wealth like the Jin army.

Their eyes gradually became brighter. They really felt that reviving the Han Dynasty would give them a better future. They even had an inexplicable sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty that had been destroyed for so long.

Although they were still able to carry out their orders to him, Tian Tian understood that their hearts were no longer with him!

"Is General Liu trying to take away my military power?" Tian Tian couldn't help but think.

There is no room for Tian Jin to have such thoughts, because this time against Gou Xi, Liu Tai himself is the main force, and Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Zhao An and Zhou Ping have all had their moments of performance.

But he stayed behind the army honestly, originally as a countermeasure to Zhou Ping, but in the end, Zhou Ping himself killed the enemies several times his own.

This had to make Tian Tian have such thoughts in his heart.

Although the general seems to put him in high regard, it is not as good as Yuan Cong, the elder who has been following the general, to gain Liu Tai's trust!
When Tian Zhen thought of this, his heart inevitably became a little gloomy.

Although he didn't think about changing jobs, he couldn't put his talents to use. To be honest, Tian Tian was still a little helpless!
At this time, a guard came to report that Liu Tai had asked him to discuss military affairs.

Tian Jin did not dare to neglect. When Tian Jin arrived, he found that except for the four generals Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Zhao An and Zhou Ping, he and Yu Yao were the only two people in the same row. Tian Jin glanced at Yu Yao and couldn't help but sigh. Even he has caught up with his status.

Liu Tai looked at the crowd and said, "I did a good job in stopping Gou Xi. The imperial court just made me the governor of Qingzhou!"

Everyone congratulated upon hearing the news, but Tian Tian was familiar with the imperial system and said, "Not a single county in Qingzhou is in the hands of the general. The imperial court wants the general to fight Qingzhou Gou Xi to death!"

"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded without denying it, "What Zijing said is true. We still have to get it ourselves in Qingzhou!"

"What does the general mean..." After hearing Liu Tai's words, Ge Xin rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Be prepared for the attack on Qingzhou!" Liu Tai looked at everyone, took out a list and said,

"Gou Xi is sitting in Qingzhou, and even if he is slowed down by the locust plague, he can recover much faster than our Taishan County.

Therefore, it is necessary to send an army disguised as bandits and guerrillas in Qingzhou to encourage the people of Qing to resist Gou Xi.

Let's take advantage of the situation to confirm one by one the families in this name, which ones are willing to take refuge with us, and which ones are not willing to be friends with us, so as to prepare for the future crusade against Gou Xi! "

"How about leaving this matter to someone?" Tian Tian couldn't help but ask after hearing this task.

When Liu Tai heard what Tian Tian said, he laughed a little and said, "Zijing has another important responsibility, because Zhao An disturbed Gou Xiliang Road last time and is more familiar with the environment of Qingzhou, so let him do it!" "

"An Dingran has completed the mission!" Zhao An immediately stood up and said after hearing that this was an order given to him.

Tian Tian watched Zhao An agree to this matter, but he bowed and silently retreated.

When Tian Tian saw Liu Tai entrusting the task to Zhao An, he was still a little unhappy.

Liu Tai looked at Zhao An as if he was resigned to death, and said, "Fight if you can, and run if you can't. Your main responsibility is to disturb us. Don't fight against us. We are currently in a truce with Gou Xi. I don’t want to start a fight yet.”

To be honest, Liu Tai knew that as long as he sent troops to harass Gou Xi, Gou Xi would definitely be able to judge that these bandits were sent by him to disturb his development, and he was afraid that Gou Xi would respond.

But if you find out, you will find out. After all, there is no banner, so if you shamelessly say it is not the case, then naturally it is not the case.

White gloves are definitely very convenient to use.

However, Liu Tai didn't want Zhao An to attack the city. If all his troops were replaced by cavalry and they just caused trouble in Qingzhou, it would not be easy for Gou Xi to capture this cavalry.

However, Gou Xi didn't know what his real purpose was, so he treated Zhao An with some caution.

If he really dared to use a large number of soldiers to besiege Zhao An, he would immediately dare to attack him with the main force of the army!

For Liu Tai, Zhao An only needs to complete the basic harassment work and contact the families on the list.

If these aristocratic families are willing to give supplies, they will definitely offend Gou Xi. Liu Tai doesn't know whether they will be suppressed. As for those who are unwilling to give supplies, it will be a good thing for him. Then he will defeat Gou Xi and solve the problem. They take it for granted.

As for their two ends, if they want to sway left and right as local snakes, then they should eat the sugar coating first, look at the cannonballs and so on before deciding when to throw them, and take their time, anyway, there will be a set meal waiting for them in the future.

"Zhou Ping, Yu Yao, you are here to step up the training of your soldiers, Ge Xin, you are here to figure out how to strengthen the army's ability to siege cities, and Liu Mingqian is here to strengthen the training of my personal guards. We need to give them more strength!!"

"No!" Everyone responded when they heard Liu Tai's words.

Everyone also understood that this meeting was just a test and preparation for Gou Xi.

He is still building up his strength, and Liu Tai has no intention of attacking Gou Xi immediately. He has to wait until this year is over.

Tian Tian watched Liu Tai assign tasks to everyone one by one, but he was the only one without a task, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

After all, even Yu Yao can serve as Zhou Ping's deputy, but as for himself, he can't do anything!

"Everyone, please disperse. Then Zijing, come out with me!" Liu Tai said to Tian Tian.

When Tian Tian heard Liu Tai's words, he was slightly startled and followed Liu Tai out.

"General?" Tian Tian looked at Liu Tai blankly, wondering why Liu Tai called him out.

Liu Tai didn't say anything nonsense. He just asked him to mount the horse. The two of them took their own guards to a collective farm outside the city.

To be honest, there are quite a lot of collective farms under Liu Tai. The main reason is that there are too many people who took over from the wealthy families who are no longer willing to be free people, but just want to be tenants.

After Liu Tai dismounted, Tian Zhen also dismounted immediately, and they entered the farm together.

Tian Zhen saw a large number of tenants working hard to plant winter wheat, but they looked very happy.Liu Tai did not pay attention to them, but continued to move forward with Tian Tian. Tian Tian found a small courtyard where a female teacher was teaching "The Analects of Confucius" to children, and the children were learning the language. Read along.

This scene couldn't help but make Tian Tian stunned.

At this time, Liu Tai slowly said, "Most of the tenants here are slaves in aristocratic families.

So when I gave them freedom, they cried and wanted to stay, so I established this collective farm and let them continue to do what they did when they were tenant farmers, now and in the future. "

"If they can continue to live in peace like this, I think they will be very happy!" Tian Tian couldn't help but reply.

"Yes, it can be considered a stable slave, maybe better than the refugees outside!" Liu Tai said,

"You said that for those big families in the Jin Dynasty, do you just want everyone in the world to be like these tenants?

All your life, you only want to be a slave, serve them as a slave, and even give them wanton pleasure? "

Hearing this, Tian Tian couldn't help but take a step back. Unconsciously, he felt a bit of sweat dripping from his head.

And Liu Tai continued, "The Jin court is actually very smart. It uses the nine-level Zhongzheng system to recruit talents, and uses the land occupation system to protect the interests of the family, not to mention the private cultivation of a large number of slaves in the family. Did your Tian family use it before?" Such?"

"..." After hearing Liu Tai's words, Tian Tian shook his head and said, "Since the ancestor Tian Feng, the Tian family has continued to decline. Now the Tian family's land has been lost. Tian is just a poor family."

Liu Tai nodded when he heard Tian Tian's words and said, "But you have always wanted to restore the lintel of the Lutian clan."

"Of course I thought about it!" When Tian Tian faced Liu Tai's words, he had no intention of hiding it.

"But they don't think about it!" Liu Tai pointed to the people still working in the fields and said, "They just want to be tenants."

Tian Tian opened his mouth when he heard this, but at this time he didn't know what to say to Liu Tai.

"I can't change their minds, so I can only respect their fate and not impose my ideas on them.

What I can do is change their children's minds and let them know that being a tenant is not the only way out in this world.

As a human being, you should keep your feet on the ground and look up to the stars! Liu Tai looked at Tian Tian and said seriously.

"I'm afraid these children will be very miserable in the future!" Tian Tian heard Liu Tai's words and said seriously, "After reading, I have become enlightened and broadened my horizons. If I want to pick up a hoe to work again, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Persisted.”

"Yeah!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "But only if you have an idea, you will have a chance.

If it cannot be realized under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, then restore the Han system, then reopen the upward channels.

After all, the great Han Dynasty was originally created by a commoner emperor and a group of commoner generals. Such a powerful man would allow slaves to become great commanders and commoners to become prime ministers.

Instead of using the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System to limit their future, using the Land Occupation System to seize their land, and make them slaves, and then let their descendants continue to be slaves for generations to come, never able to raise their heads or see the sky. sun. "

Tian Tian fell silent when he heard Liu Tai's words. This was the first time he knew that Liu Tai looked at the family like this!
Liu Tai said to Tian Tian, ​​"Do you hope to reverse the Jin Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty, so that the common people can become Han people again, or do you hope to continue to implement the system of the Jin court, so that the common people will always be common people, the common people will always be common people, and the poor families will always be poor families?"

"General, why are you asking me like that?!" Tian Tian faced Liu Tai's question, but he couldn't answer it for a moment.

Liu Tai said calmly, "Because you are a descendant of a famous scholar, and you once commanded a beggar army. You have seen the luxury of the wealthy nobles, and you also know the poverty of the common people.

To a certain extent, you are the same as me, except that I was born at the bottom, and later gradually saw the luxury of the nobility.

And after you were a famous scholar, you fell to the bottom of the class and became the leader of the beggar army. "

When Tian Zhen heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but fell silent. For a moment, Tian Zhen felt a little emotional.

Liu Tai continued, "The military meeting just now is indeed to prepare for the crusade against Gou Xi, but it is only part of the content. It is just that we cannot defeat Gou Xi with these. You still need to complete the last step! "

"Please give me your orders, general!" Tian Tian said respectfully to Liu Tai at this moment.

"Do you want to be a Jin citizen or a Han citizen?" Liu Tai looked at Tian Tian and asked,

"In other words, do you want to be Tian Zhen of the famous Tian family, or do you want to be Tian Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the beggar army?"

"What's the difference?" Tian Tian looked at Liu Tai confused and asked, "It's all me!"

"You will know then. You will eventually have to make a decision, whether to revive the Han Dynasty or not!" Liu Tai said to Tian Tian, ​​"Zhao An's entire action is to escort you across the Yellow River. Let you and your troops go to Jizhou!"

"Jizhou?!" Tian Tian was a little confused. He didn't expect that he could do this.

"Well, the locust plague eats the food of the future, so the people are afraid that it will be quite uncomfortable this winter.

Jizhou is the area hardest hit by the locust plague. Wherever the locust plague occurs, even the slightest spark will cause great turmoil, and what you do is become the leader of the uprising.

Then find the right opportunity in May and June next year to attack Gou Xi's Linzi from the north.

All his attention was attracted by my bait, Linzi can't stop you! "Liu Tai said to Tian Tian seriously.

Tian Tian looked a little dazed as he listened to Liu Tai's words, but finally said to Liu Tai, "Why me?"

"Among our group of people, who has been the leader of the beggar army and knows how to lead the beggar army? Who is the descendant of a famous scholar in Jizhou and can more or less convince the people of Jizhou even now? Who has led the soldiers to revolt? The experience, these are only for you!"

Liu Tai looked at Tian Tian seriously and said, "So if anyone can complete this plan, I believe only you can complete it!"

Tian Tian couldn't help but get excited when he heard Liu Tai's words, but he suppressed his excitement and asked, "When the time comes, shall I come and surrender the city to the general?"

"No!" Liu Tai said every word, "You lead the army out of the city to fight, and I will defeat them head-on!"

"Huh?!" Tian Tian couldn't help but froze when he heard Liu Tai's words.

　I don't feel well today, so I'll just do the first update. There are still five updates left, so make a mark.
